The processes involved with reproduction and nurturing a growing zygote require energy use beyond normal maintenance. What is the best way certain
organisms reduce the energy costs of reproduction?
A. The parents each take turns nurturing the offspring.
B. They reproduce asexually.
C. They have multiple offspring in one pregnancy.
D. They reduce their gestation period.

B. They reproduce asexually.

Explanation:

Asexual reproduction often known as abiogenetic multiplication requires just one parent organism and results in hereditary identical progeny (similar to a new copy). Since there is no blending of genetic data required and organisms don't have to invest energy finding a mate, populaces can increment quickly because of asexual generation. Thus, with the guide of asexual generation, the energy needed in the process associated with multiplication and nurturing is diminished contrasted with sexual reproduction.

the correct answer is - d. china has a large and growing population.

the fact that china has a large (the biggest) population, and it is still growing, doesn't hinder the agriculture production in the country. in fact, it can for increased production in the agriculture, since there's more labor force, as well the sheer mass of people produces lots of scientists that come up with new inventions as to how to improve this sector. nice example is the inner mongolia region in china, in general dominated by the gobi desert, but few scientist came up with a nice idea as to how to make the region productive by using plants that are very resistant to droughts, so lots of people have been employed, and the region is becoming greener and greener each year, and the production of food in this region is also increasing.
